Bernie Sanders lays out exactly what's at stake if MAGA Rs gut Medicaid. Mom or dad in a nursing home? They may not be able to afford it if Medicaid is cut. Community health centers which a lot of Americans go to when they’re sick, will be affected. #DontCutMyMedicaid

How does firing Americans help make America great again? Cutting 5-8% of the workers is unproductive and harmful to our economy and society. This is just simply reckless and unsustainable. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/p...

I have a few theories as to why Trump is gunning so hard to strip Native Americans of citizenship - resources, money and racism. He wants to give the rez land and its resources to his cronies. Casinos for himself, and to strip black American descendants of slaves, of their citizenship …

Republicans are embracing full on fascism. Nazi salutes, siding with murderous dictators, trash talking our allies, promoting hate, racist ideology, and bigotry, as well as, gaslighting Americans 24/7. In 30 days Trump & Republicans have managed to tank America’s reputation. The world hates us.

Fiery speech from Gov Pritzker raising the alarm and urging us to fight back against the trump/musk administration. He’s sounding the alarm because it took the Nazi’s a little over a month to dismantle a constitutional government. But with all of us together, can fight this because we must.
